How it works

Pattern Details

This quick hat is great for a lazy day when you’d rather cover your hair rather than deal with it. With plenty of stretch and a bit of style, it’ll keep you comfy and warm. Seed stitch interspersed with columns of knit stitches will keep you engaged as you knit—and catch the eye when worn. If you’d like to make a less slouchy version, cast on only 80 stitches and leave out one repeat.
